Create your own water wonderland with a swimming pool from Kmart

When the summer days start heating up, nothing beats cooling off with friends and family in your own private swimming pool. Smooth on sunscreen, slip into your favorite bathing suit and grab a fun, patterned beach towel. Spend less time packing up for a day at the public pool or beach and hangout poolside in your own backyard. Kmart sells full-size swimming pools at prices that won't break the bank.

Above-ground swimming pools have enough water capacity to keep you submerged and chilled on the hottest summer days. Kmart also carries large inflatable pools that are a less permanent backyard fixture; you can set them up in the beginning of the season and take them down toward the end of the summer when outside temperatures cool down. These pools are still deep enough to go diving for coins and spacious enough to play various pool games even with a large group of kids. From large rectangular pools up to 24-feet long to classic circular pools, Kmart has the perfect pool to fit your backyard and your budget.

There are many perks to owning a pool, but it still does require regular maintenance. It's important to keep your pool clear, clean and safe for all swimmers. Stock up on the right cleaning tools and supplies and let your equipment do the work for you so you can spend more time splashing around under the sun and less time with monotonous upkeep. Make sure you get necessary pool chemicals to keep the water free of bacteria and other organic pollutants, and choose a durable pool cover to keep falling leaves and stray twigs from dirtying the surface when your pool isn't in use.

When you're finished shopping around for practical pool accessories and essentials, you can browse for some more fun accessories like pool toys and inflatables. Turn your backyard space into a poolside oasis and relax on a gigantic island big enough for nine people, or get physical with a competitive game of pool volleyball. When the sun goes down, keep the fun going all night long by adding colorful pool lights to the interior or exterior of your pool. Light up your outdoor oasis to ensure everyone has a fun and safe time after dark.

Spend more time with the people you cherish most and invite everyone over for a dip in your own private swimming pool. Whether you're thinking about adding a pool to your outdoor space or you already have a pool that you're wanting to upgrade, Kmart has swimming pools and accessories to keep you out back all summer long.
